Pakistan Minister Establishes 'Suryakumar Yadav Condition' for Asia Cup Trophy Transfer to India
In light of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejecting requests for a trophy handover ceremony, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) leader Mohsin Naqvi has reportedly introduced a new condition to break the deadlock regarding the Asia Cup 2025. During an ACC meeting on Tuesday, BCCI officials Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar put Naqvi on the defensive by requesting that the trophy be stored in the Asian body's Dubai office for shipping to India.Naqvi, however, demonstrated little to no willingness to comply with the requests from the Indian board. A report by the Pakistani media outlet Geo Super states that Naqvi even opposed the mention of the trophy handover in the meeting, as it was not included in the original agenda. During a virtual meeting, Naqvi informed Rajeev Shukla, "This item was not included in the agenda for the ACC meeting." Naqvi, in response to the BCCI's insistence on the trophy's return, stated: "If the Indian team wants the trophy, the captain can come to the ACC office and collect it from me. "Witnessing Naqvi's lack of cooperation, the BCCI warned the heads of the ACC and PCB that if the trophy is not transferred to the Indian team within a specified timeframe, they will lodge a complaint with the ICC concerning this issue. As PTI reported, a source stated, “It was clarified that the BCCI would lodge a complaint with the ICC, and Shelar made a brief exit from the meeting.” During the tournament, the two teams faced off three times, with India emerging victorious on each occasion, including in the final. During the event, India upheld a 'no-handshake policy' with Pakistani players, which angered the PCB.Following the Pahalgam terror attack, where Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 Indian tourists, tensions between the two neighbors have reached unprecedented levels.

PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi Complains in Social Media Post Following His Asia Cup Final Trophy Incident
The Chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Interior Minister of the country, Mohsin Naqvi, who embarrassed himself internationally by taking the Asia Cup trophy after India declined to accept it from him, is now asserting that India has dishonored the spirit of the game. After suffering a crushing defeat to India, PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi—whose X account is withheld in India—reacted on the microblogging platform to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's congratulatory message following the match.“If war was how you gauged your pride, your shameful defeats against Pakistan are already chronicled in history. No cricket match can change that reality. Naqvi stated, "Dragging war into sport merely showcases desperation and dishonors the true spirit of the game. "PM Modi commended India’s renowned victory earlier, stating, “Operation Sindoor on the games field.” The result is identical: India wins! Congratulations to our cricketers.Naqvi's misunderstanding of historical events and facts is evident, and he requires a serious reminder of how often Pakistan has had to submit to Indian superiority in conflicts. Beginning with the signing of the Instrument of Surrender by Lieutenant General A.A.K. Niazi, head of Pakistani forces, to the Indian Army in 1971, which ended the war, and continuing through to the Kargil Conflict, where former PM Nawaz Sharif acknowledged their mistake in breaching the Lahore declaration.

BCCI Responds to Shreyas Iyer’s Sudden Exit from India A Squad
Shreyas Iyer’s unexpected withdrawal from the India A team raised several questions, especially with no official explanation at the time.

Allan Donald, a former South African pacer, is concerned about Hardik in the meantime.

Thus, it is crucial to begin proper screening at an early age, as reported by Hindustan Times and Donald to Sportstar.

Lot To Do With Pitch: An Ex-Indian Stars Unambiguous Opinion On 23-Wicket Day
There are obviously going to be questions when 23 wickets fall in one day in a Test match—just two short of the all-time record. There must be something more going on than just bad batting or excellent bowling. There will be additional questions if those 23 wickets are lost on the opening day of a Test. That is the situation following Wednesday's first day of the second Test between South Africa and India in Cape Town.First, the Indian cricket team was dismissed for 153, and then South Africa was all out for just 55. With 62/3, South Africa concluded the day. 23 wickets fell in total. The greatest number of wickets lost on the first day of a test is 25, which occurred in an Ashes test in 1902. When asked why such a dramatic day transpired, former Indian cricket team player Sanjay Manjrekar gave a very basic response. "The pitch plays a big part in it.
